In this new book, the creator bridges the gap between theory and practice. The creator describes an original approach-Feedback Strategy-that builds at the strengths of previous planning theories with one big difference: it not only acknowledges but welcomes politics-the bogeyman of real-world planning.

These ideas rooted in the planner’s real world are different. This strategy employs on a regular basis poltiical processes to advance planning, trusts planners’ personal values and professional ethics, and will depend on their ability to assist clients articulate a vision. This volume will encourage not only veteran planners on the lookout for a fresh approach, but also students and latest graduates dismayed by the gap between academic theory and actual practice.
